Chapter 248 Son
Yong’an Bank is the largest bank in the capital. It has been more than a hundred years old. After the war of changing dynasties, it is like an old tree struck by lightning.
It was past Xu time, the bank was closed, and the shopkeeper was doing accounts under a candle. When he heard the knock on the door, he called out without raising his head, "It's closed," and continued to work.
"Open the door quickly, or your door will be demolished if you don't!"
There was a girl's voice outside the door, unreasonable, the shopkeeper murmured a few words, came over, and glanced out from the crack of the door, the girl's teary eyeball was separated from him by the crack of the door Looking at each other, the shopkeeper trembled in fright, and said angrily, "What are you doing?"
"The shopkeeper? Are you the shopkeeper?"
"it's me!"
"My girl asked me to come to see you, can you open the door?" Du Yuan was so annoyed that he took out a red emerald hairpin and shook it, "Do you know me?"
This is the flower of Ruomu. As the general manager of Yong'an Bank, Cui Bingjun doesn't need to know his daughter-in-law, and he will definitely not know this flower of Ruomu. , please come in and talk!"
Du Yuan squeezed in and looked around. If she hadn't held Ruomu Zhihua in her hand, Cui Bingjun would have suspected that the girl was here to be a thief.
"Are you the treasurer of Yong'an Bank?" Du Yuan asked.
"This is Choi Byung Kyun!"
"Well, this is for you. My girl asked me to give it to you." Seeing him unfolding the note, Du Yuan looked at it by a candle, and said, "The girl said that the Cui family has always been cautious and careful. There should be a count of the money that has been passed on, so please shopkeeper Cui sort out an account book, and if you can support it, support Dongchang, after all, the money is going to go into the national treasury."
Cui Bingjun was astonished, holding the note in his hands tremblingly, "Miss, have you made a decision? Does my uncle know? Such a large sum of money, just donate it?"
"Otherwise?" Du Yuan said dismissively, "Isn't it just a few million taels of silver? What does the girl want money for? The girl said that if this little money can be used to end the Feng family, the girl will not even blink her eyes! "
Cui Bingjun was shocked, the eldest girl is much more decisive than the aunt, if the aunt had been so ruthless back then, would she have fallen into such a situation?
Cui Bingjun put the note on the fire and turned it into ashes. He nodded and said, "Please report to my cousin girl. I know about this matter. I will send it to Dongchang early tomorrow morning."
"Is it convenient for you to send it over there? You can give it to me, and I will send it over together." As he said, Du Yuan revealed the account book in his arms, and looked at Cui Bingjun eagerly.
"This... what is this?" Cui Bingjun asked, it couldn't be what he thought, could it?
"This is the account that my old lady wrote down over the years. It's all about sending money to Feng's family. My girl summed it up. If it's not three million taels, it's two and a half million taels. I'm afraid there is something missing in the middle. That's why I came to your bank. The girl said that Mrs. Cui kept a hand back then, but all the income from Zhuangzi and the farm had to go through the bank, and Yong'an Bank is the largest and most reliable bank in Dayong. My wife is too poor, and most of them should be stored in Yong'an Bank, so the girl asked me to come here to see if there is an account book."
"Yes, of course there is. The head of the family has already sent a message, but all the accounts that the old ladies of the Feng family and the Xie family enter and leave are kept in separate books, and I will take them here for the girl."
Du Yuan got an account book that he knew was a transcript at a glance, and he had to lament the meticulous work of the Cui family.
Cui Bingjun was still rambling on, "Girl, please tell Cousin after you go back, so that Cousin can rest assured that in this city, eight or nine out of ten are the Cui family's bank, and this account book has to be summarized every year. Before that time, didn’t something happen to the Feng family a few days ago? I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time, and the account book is not to say complete, but it’s almost there.”
Du Yuanxin said, it's no wonder that the girl has so much money to spend, three million taels of silver, she donated as soon as she said she would donate, it turns out that her grandfather's family opened a bank.
She took the account book, put it in her arms, nodded, "Okay, then I'll go first."
It's already three o'clock, on the old Caomen Street, the lantern in front of Lu's house swayed gently in the wind, Du Yuan was about to climb over the wall to enter, when she heard the movement, she had to land at the door.
The door squeaked and opened from the inside. Zhima's head protruded from the inside. Looking out, he saw Du Yuan and said angrily, "Why are you here again? You don't go through the main entrance when you come here. Where? Anyone can climb over the wall?"
Du Yuan stuck out his tongue, squeezed in from the door, and asked, "Is the young master asleep?"
Whilst she was talking, she looked towards the yard and saw that the light in Lu Yan's study was still on, she immediately pouted, "It's so late, why isn't your son asleep yet?"
Lu Yan rubbed the center of his brows. Hearing the movement outside, he raised his head. Eunuch Tangyuan came in from outside, bowed and said, "Master Du, Miss Du Yuan is here!"
"Um!"
Lu Yan stretched out his hand, and Mi Tuan hurriedly sent a Jiancup to his slender fingers to hold it. The scent of tea wafted into his nostrils. Lu Yan picked it up and took a sip, keeping his eyes on the door.
Du Yuan sneaked in like a thief, his eyes lit up when he saw Lu Yan, he walked two steps quickly, came to the desk, knelt down, "Young master!"
She was very happy to get Xie Zhiwei's guarantee, and it was much easier to deal with Lu Yan.
The corners of Lu Yan's lips curled up invisibly, and he asked, "What's the matter?"
Du Yuan took out the account book from his arms, "The girl asked the servant to come, and said that the servant should hand it over to the young master!"
Without Lu Yan's signal, Mi Tuan picked up the ledger and gave it to Lu Yan with both hands.
Lu Yan flipped through it, a little shocked, but his face remained calm. After he flipped through a few books, he pushed the ledger out and said to Tang Yuan, "You go and send it to Shen Tingyang, so that he can read it as soon as possible." Calculate an account, and I will ask for it tomorrow."
Tangyuan hurriedly picked up the ledger, bowed and retreated.
Lu Yan picked up the teacup, which meant to let Du Yuan go. Du Yuan got up and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered that there was something else. , Ah, no, the drug is said to be for the son to save his life."
Lu Yan's eyebrows softened, and he glanced at Mi Tuan. Mi Tuan carefully picked up a medicine in a glass bottle and handed it to Lu Yan.
Lu Yan played with the bottle with one hand. It was a crystal clear glass bottle in the shape of a gourd, sealed with a cork wrapped in red silk, and the yellow powder inside could be seen.
He looked at it, his dark eyes gradually lit up, and he said in a soft voice, "Did Miss tell you how to use it?"
